"Only Love Can Break Your Heart." ~ Neil Young cover~

The idea to cover this Neil Young song came to me as I was watching a very cute movie called "Leap Year" where it was sung by British singer/songwriter Gwyneth Herbert. The song is the third track on Neil Young's album "After the Gold Rush" and was supposedly written for Graham Nash after Nash's split from Joni Mitchell. I love those romantic stories about the artists in the 70's! Released as a single in October 1970, it became Young's first top 40 hit as a solo artist.

@GwynHerb Oh my goodness! I'm not sure if this is you,Gwen (or perhaps the "keeper" of her YouTube site), but, just in case it is, I want to tell you how flattered I am that you would take the time to comment! I love your music and your version was the inspiration for mine! I keep saying that I must get a ukulele! Maybe I can find a green one here in the states! Much continued success in your career! <3 Babs
